  • the dial 16 cooperates with the pinion 26 such that when the dial 16 is rotated, the pinion 26 slides over the teeth 36, which moves the movable carrier assembly 24 in a linear direction. Because the USB connector 14 is connected to the movable carrier assembly 24, the USB connector 14 moves along with the movable carrier assembly 24 in the linear direction.
  • FIG. 8A shows the movable carrier assembly 24 in its extended position such that the USB connector 14 could be used to connect to a USB port on a computer or other host device with a USB connector.
  • the tab 54 of the pinion 26 is engaged to one tooth 36 of the rack 34.
  • the protrusion 56 is caught in the second notch 48 of the second lateral side edge 46 so as to prevent the protrusion 56 from moving in a counterclockwise position (when viewed through the top cover 20). This prevents rotation of the pinion 26 and the dial 16 in a counterclockwise manner.
  • the angle of the second notch 48 allows the protrusion 56 to move in a clockwise position.
  • the present invention could be configured such that the protrusion 56 moves in a counterclockwise manner.
  • the present invention is not limited by the term “clockwise” or "counterclockwise.”
  • the pinion 26 When the dial 16 is rotated in a clockwise manner (with respect to FIG. 8A ), the pinion 26 is caused to rotate in the same direction. As the pinion 26 is rotated, the tabs 54 slide over the teeth 36 in a clockwise manner, thereby moving the movable carrier assembly 24 in a linear direction toward the walls 64, 82 of the bottom and top covers 18, 20. The tabs 54 continue to slide over the teeth 36 until the protrusion 56 engages the first notch 44, thereby moving the movable carrier assembly 24 in its retracted position, as shown in FIG. 8B . This places the USB connector 14 in its retracted position. The first notch 44 is sized to preclude further movement of the protrusion 56 in a clockwise manner, thereby preventing further rotation of the pinion 26 and the dial 16 in a clockwise manner.
  • the dial 16 is rotated in a counterclockwise manner.
  • the pinion 26 is caused to rotate in the same direction.
  • the tabs 54 slide over the teeth 36 in a counterclockwise manner, thereby moving the movable carrier assembly 24 in a linear direction away from the walls 64, 82 of the bottom and top covers 18, 20.
  • the tabs 54 continue to slide over the teeth 36 until the protrusion 56 engages the second notch 48, thereby moving the movable carrier assembly 24 in its extended position, as shown in FIG. 8A .
  • the second notch 48 is sized to preclude further movement of the protrusion 56 in a counterclockwise manner, thereby preventing further rotation of the pinion 26 and the dial 16 in a counterclockwise manner.
